SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

I presume Countdown is still filmed at YTV!Heard on Real Radio that Carol Vorderman is finishing after she was told her wage was to be cut by 19%Shame cos she ain't half fit.

Just googled carol vorderman and it says 90% cut in wagesDon't wonder she's off.

It's not as if she does owt much on the show really, she puts a few letters on a board and does a couple of sums that's it!!

EEEH! Leeds Lad, I think I could show her how to make ends meet!Shouldn't imagine she'll have much trouble landinganother, better paid position,do you?

We watch it every day - we video it and watch in the evening. I must admit that we "zap thru the cr@p" so it doesn't really matter who presents it - we watch it for the number and word puzzles on the basis of use it or lose it. The audience has apparently declined alarmingly since Richard Whiteley died and the advert breaks are noticeably shorter.Even though I never listened to Richard's waffling at the beginning and at the breaks I think he had the knack of running the show properly unlike Des Lynam who appeared bored silly and Des O'Connor who appears to be senile even though he's only 76. Unlike 'arry who's obviously still got some lead in his pencil if he's ogling Carol. I must admit she's pretty fit for a 45 year old.

Just been reading how Carol Vorderman got paid 1.2million a year for 40 days work!Even with a 90% cut in pay I still don't think that's bad going.Think I'm going to send off my CV. I could manage very nicely on that salary and could always do a few "consolidate your debts" adverts as a sideline,it's a damn sight easier than working for a living.

Yes Troj. Plenty 'o lead but the sharpener'sgone wonky!Lily'smum.Please post a full length foto and we'll see if you qualify!LOLPS We don't care if you can't spell or add up! LOL agen!
